Popsicle Stick Woven Wristband

Popsicle Stick Woven Wristband

It’s Summertime, which means a whole lotta time to fill with activities that will keep the kids busy, and us parents sane. Even if we can’t get them to sit still long enough to learn to knit or crochet, that doesn’t mean we can’t put yarn in their hands, and have them create something cool! Wristbands are quick to make, and work for both boys and girls which makes them one of my favorite “Summer Camp” crafts. Over the years, I’ve created tutorials for finger knit, crocheted, macramed, sewn, and Japanese knotted versions. Today though, I thought I’d add to the wrist menagerie with a version that’s the perfect project to get kids interest in the latest of yarn trends: weaving. Weaving can be done on a loom of course, but using weaving sticks is also fun (not to mention, much more portable; can you say, “road trip” craft?) Best of all, we can make a pint sized version of them with the leftovers from our favorite frozen treats. So grab some goodies, and prep the kids because it’s time to get crafty. Enjoy! –xx, Vickie
